PRE-
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: All the following pre-installation sections must be read and
requirements met before starting boiler or flue installation.
CAUTION: ISOLATE THE MAINS SUPPLIES BEFORE STARTING ANY WORK
AND OBSERVE ALL RELEVANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
IMPORTANT:
Debris from the system can damage the
boiler and reduce efficiency. Failure to
comply with the guidelines for the use
of water treatment with the appliance
will invalidate the appliance warranty.
BEFORE CLEANING THE SYSTEM:
ENSURE THE SYSTEM AND PIPEWORK ARE
IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.
USE THE EXISTING BOILER/CIRCULATING
PUMP WHERE POSSIBLE OR USE A POWER
FLUSHING MACHINE TO AID THE CLEANSING
PROCEDURE BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW
BOILER.
CLEANING THE PRIMARY SYSTEM:
Fill the system with cold mains water to
the recommended pressure and check for
leaks.
Open all drain cocks and drain the system.
Close drain cocks and add a suitable
flushing agent at the correct strength for
the system condition in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Circulate the flushing agent before the
boiler is fired up.
Run the boiler and system at normal
operating temperature in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Drain and thoroughly flush the system to
remove the flushing agent and any debris.

CONDENSATE PIPEWORK:
• The condensate pipe must be a minimum of
22mm Ø plastic pipe.
• The condensate pipework must fall at
least 50 mm per metre towards the outlet
and should take the shortest practicable
route.
• The pipework must follow one of the options
shown opposite or discharge directly into a
vent stack min. 450mm above pipe invert or
into a gully below ground but above the water

• Wherever possible the condensate
discharge pipe work should be routed and
terminated internally. Should this not be
possible, and the only available route is
external, the following conditions should be
observed:
External pipe work
- Pipe work length should be kept to a
minimum and the route as vertical as
possible.
- Where pipe work is subjected to
extreme cold or wind chill, a weather
proof insulation should be used.

Condensate soakaway
The condensate drainage pipe may be run

The soakaway must use a 100mm diameter
plastic tube with two rows of three 12 mm
holes on 25 mm centres and 50 mm from
the bottom of the tube. The holes must face
away from the house.
The tube must be surrounded by at least
100 mm of limestone chippings to a depth
of 400mm.
Fitting an external air break
Use the situation opposite when a rain water
down pipe is used to dispose of condensate
and the down pipe goes directly into an
existing sewer that carries both rainwater
and foul water.
An air break must be installed in the
32/43 mm pipework, between the boiler
condensate outlet and the drainpipe, outside
the property, to avoid flooding during
adverse weather conditions.

BOILER LOCATION &
CLEARANCES
• This boiler is only suitable for installing
internally within a property at a suitable
location onto a fixed rigid non-combustible
surface at least the same size as the boiler
and capable of supporting the boiler
weight.
• The boiler is not suitable for external
installation unless a suitable enclosure is
provided.
COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION:
• If installing more than one appliance in a
modular or cascade arrangement in a
commercial premises, that total more than
70kW, then additional ventilation is needed
to comply with the Dangerous Substances
and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations
(DSEAR).
Compartments:
Follow the requirements of BS6798 and
BS5440 Part 2 and note:
• Minimum clearances must be maintained.
• An access door is required to install, service
and maintain the boiler and any ancillary
equipment.
• If fitting the boiler into an airing cupboard
use a non-combustible perforated material
(maximum hole sizes of 13mm) to separate
the boiler from the airing space.

• The flue must be fitted and terminated in accordance
with the recommendations of BS5440 : Part 1.
• The flue must not cause an obstruction.
• Discharge and any noise from the flue outlet must not
cause a nuisance.
• Flue gases have a tendency to plume and in certain
weather conditions a white plume of condensation
will be discharged from the flue outlet. Where this
could be a nuisance, for example, near security lighting,
an alternate position should be found.
• The air inlet/outlet duct and the terminal of the boiler
must not be closer than 25mm to any combustible
material.
Detailed recommendations on
protection of combustible materials are
given in BS 5440: Part 1
• A protective terminal guard must be fitted if the
terminal is 2m or less above a surface to which people
have access.
The guard must be spaced equally (minimum 50 mm)
around the flue and fixed to the wall with plated
screws. See Contact Information (inside front cover).
NOTE: All measurements are the minimum
clearances required.
Terminals must be positioned so to
avoid combustion products entering
the building.
